    Unfortunately these were stolen out of the shop they were stored in only several months after we picked them up. So if anyone stumbles across a set of Terras on widened KH wheels let us know.. One of the centers was crudely replaced with what appeared to be a Ford center.

    Probably 12 ply RATING, 2 or 4 ply ACTUAL nylon.
    The 12 ply RATING mea
    ns it has the same strength as 12 plies of COTTON.
    Cotton hasn't been used since 1928...

    Huh, I have one of those in storage. In great shape, but not NOS like that.

    Those resemble a 70's or 80's BFG A/T to me. Nice!

    Cool for a vintage type build....
    That tire however is likely pretty scary in the rain at speed.

    Has anybody seen the MRF "Superlug" 7.00-15 in the flesh?
    Based on the pictures it's sort of a cross between the old NDT military tires and a street tire (some siping, jagged tread pattern, etc.).
    It looks like it could be a contender but hard specs are very scarce.
    I'm just still hoping for something slightly quieter and/or better handling than the "Super Traction II"

    Have you seen the Specialty Tires of America (STA) Super Traxion? I have these in 7.00-15 on one Jeep and 7.50-16 on another. I am extremely happy with both. Good traction on all surfaces, reasonable rubber softness, not very loud. A bit of flat spotting if it sits for a few weeks, but it clears up fast. Lots more siping than the similar Power King Super Tractions or Deestone D503.

    I have these also and am really pleased. They have a stout sidewall and work well in the desert.

    I'm happy to see the positive reviews of the STA tires. I have four coming my way for Rattletrap. Though being a 2wd DJ, the front two will be STA Super Transports, while the rear two will be the Super Traxions.
